A Hug from the Hulk

Robbie sent in some great shots for us to enjoy this week starting with him and the Hulk at the Kentucky State Fair in the 1980s. Thanks Rob, some mall appearance shots are always a welcome site, especially great ones like this. Speaking of Superheroes: it’s Free Comic Book Day today, a great opportunuity to bring […]

Wonder Woman goes to Toys R Us

Wasn’t I just saying something about how I’d never seen many Wonder Woman appearance shots? Well, when it rains it pours because not only this another great shot of Diana Prince’s alter ego, it’s a vintage toy store shot to boot. I know this appearance took place in 1978 because I can see a shelf loaded […]

A Wonderful Appearance

I absolutely love these shots of Wonder Woman, who was making the rounds in Austin Texas circa 1975. I get plenty of Spider-Man here, not that I’m complaining (keep ’em coming!) but it’s especially nice to see DC’s first lady holding court. Send me your mall appearance photos!

Spider-Man at JC Penney

Lynch (who’s fast becoming my favourite Superhero) sent in this awesome vintage ad for a Spider-Man appearance in 1979. Four bits seems like a pretty good deal for a shot with you with Spidey, bet his autograph was free too….   Send me your mall appearance photos!

Rom: Spaceknight gets some love

Lynch sent me this fantastic image of Rom, it’s the same one used for the “Marvel: Live and In Person” flier but it’s a better version of it, showing the whole outfit, which I have to say looks really good. Lynch was lucky enough to see Rom twice and makes mention of his voice : […]

Spiderman joins the Navy

Well, not really but this webslinger appearance sent in by John at the Navy base commisarry probably about 1976 is still pretty swell, love those “Electric Company” eyes.. . Send me your mall appearance photos!

Marvel Heroes Live In Person
